Military Academies

Develops leadership and team-building skills for strongly motivated students. The purpose is to instill goal-directed, success-oriented attitudes and behavior in our cadets.

Overview

Curriculum

The Military Academies are unique four-year high schools that prepare students for college and subsequent careers. Although students wear uniforms and operate in a structured environment, these schools are not intended to prepare students for the military. Rather, students take part in unprecedented leadership opportunities and co-curricular activities, including college trips and citywide competitions, in a nurturing, safe, and healthy environment in which they can realize their full potential.
